What I don't understand is why Milazzo left home with a runner on 3rd. Situational baseball failure. If he stays home and herring fields it coming forward, safest play is to toss home where your catcher should be. Worst thing that happens is the runner is safe and the game is tied.

Right. Because even if Herring gets the ball and tries to go to first, he has to spin and throw in a hurry.

People talking about Jones stretching with the wrong foot, but didn’t see Milazzo throw to first with his right foot forward? He literally did everything wrong fundamentally, but people are blaming the guy that was the only reason we were in this game

2 outs... get guy at first and inning over. Nothing wrong with decision. Bad execution.

I have seen many comments on bad throw and bad catch by 1B... both were contributory. Bad throw by catcher but ball was catchable. Would have been a collision at 1B if so which may have generated an interference call

This right here is the proper answer. Not the bad throw, not Jones footwork, not the runner running in wrong path !!!! Milazzo should have stayed home. Now let’s go win today and give it our best shot on Sunday!!!
